Top WWE superstar Roman Reigns has confirmed his appearance for the Netflix debut of WWE RAW.
During his recent chat on the “SI Media Podcast” with Jimmy Traina, the superstar, popularly known as the OTC, shared insights about RAW’s impending Netflix premiere, the continuation of The Bloodline storyline, and his experience leading to WrestleMania 40.
Highlights from the podcast conversation can be found below:
His planned participation in Netflix throughout next year: “I’m uncertain to be honest. My focus is on making it to the premiere. I’m scheduled for that. I can’t disclose too much beyond that at present. My dates for WrestleMania from Rumble forward haven’t been fixed yet, which is an issue to be discussed. This is significant given the financial impact involved with this deal. I totally get it. These are all nice problems to encounter. I thoroughly enjoy the struggle; it typically turns out to be beneficial.”
His views on the Bloodline story’s lengthy run: “Some initially laughed at us, possibly it was me or Paul, debating baseball innings. About a year back, I felt we might be stretching it, but it’s not the case anymore. I’m visualizing a completely new approach. Imagining the progress over the following two or three years, partitioning these milestones a year at a time. It wouldn’t have been feasible if we weren’t where we are right now, enjoying creative freedom, collaboration, with leadership from Triple H, and Nick Khan overseeing the business side. The trust we have amongst ourselves is essential. This trust allows us to perform at our best.”
About his opponent for WrestleMania 40: “It wasn’t really an issue for me. I was the main event regardless. I’m the person everyone wanted to compete against. I’m the attractive option. It looked like everyone wanted to challenge me. It was just about making it to the defender’s position. It doesn’t matter who my opponent is, as they’re attempting to prevent history. They’re trying to topple me from my prime. I had the same objective.”
